I had a bit of a false start getting these - I ordered what was listed as a UK 5.5 but I was sent an EU 34 which is actually a UK size 3.5-4 so too small! :o( However, the return was relatively easy and free and I ordered another, bigger pair. I suspected after this that the sizes given were in fact US not UK sizes so I plumped for what was listed as a 7.5-8. Glad to say, these fit my 5.5 size feet perfectly. So be warned, getting the right size can be a bit of a minefield (as a few other reviews have noted). Googling a shoe size conversion chart really helped!Now to the shoes. I have been looking for the right pair of thin-soled, lightweight running shoes for ages.

I originally ordered these in a size 9 based on multiple product reviews stating that these run small. This was my first pair of FiveFingers, so I went with the reviews rather than my actual measurements. I am a solid 7 1/2 in practically every shoe I own - I only size up for hiking shoes because my feet may swell after multiple days of long hikes.The size 9 was WAY too big - my heel wasn't cupped properly, and the toes were much too long for safe wear. The size 8 fits as I expected based on the fit of the size 9. My big toe fits tightly in the shoe, but not uncomfortable. I expect the shoes will stretch within a few wears so I am not particularly worried about that. My heel fits snugly in the shoe,

I bought these as I thought I needed a gimmick to kickstart myself back into doing some exercise, and surprisingly it worked! I was a little concerned about running without cushioned running shoes, especially as I have fairly flat feet and have always seemed to twist my ankles easily.I am about to complete a couch to 5k training program (with the zombies run app, also highly recommended!), and I think that helped me avoid the issues I was worried about with these shoes, as the training program slowly increases allowing your running style and muscles to develop to a barefoot running style without pushing it too quickly resulting in injuries.I felt a little ankle tenderness in the second week or so of running,

I LOVE these.It took multiple attempts to get the right size because it is European sizing, but I am Women's size 10 regular and these fit like a charm. *Note: you need to buy the correct sizing for these types of shoes because if too big or too small you will damage your feet running in these.I noticed the first time I ran three miles in these how important it is to gradually get used to them BEFORE you run. The three miles I ran in these was on paved roads and my feet- especially my calves- hurt like crazy for two weeks. It is just like running barefoot- you still need to watch out for rocks (I also realized this half way through my run when I accidently stepped on a stone and bruised my heel).

As others have said, the sizes are wrong. The EU size is close but the UK and US sizes given are nonsense. I'm a UK 6.5, who usually wears size 7s for everyday use, (size 7 is EU 41). On the box, it says EU 41 UK 8-8.5, which is nonsense. For me, the EU 41 Vibrams are a snug fit, and I think that's how they're supposed to feel, but my toes feel very jammed in. A 42 might be more comfortable. I'd go by the EU size and go up a bit for the best chance of them fitting.I quite like them. I used them for Taichi last night. The grip wasn't great on the smooth floor, but other than that they were great. The one thing I hate is that stupid elasticated lace system with the lump of plastic flapping about at the end.

Several years ago, I first saw these shoes on a guy jogging on the West Side Greenway in NYC. I thought it was just another crazy trend, like people who take boa constrictors on the subway. But now I'm a believer.Once I put them on (in the right size), I didn't want to take them off. Have been wearing them around the house and outside for dog walks. My toes are loving the extra grippyworkout and my soles, the pressure and flexibility. They're comfortable on concrete and dirt/gravel, but I've only walked on them, not run. I'm trying to rebuild my fitness slowly after an illness, and I think these shoes will help to get things moving again.Thanks to the reviews here, I sized up to a 39,

Five fingers are not for everyone. I just happen to love them. This is my fifth pair in eleven years. If you like five finger shoes, I think you will like these. They are not advertised as trainers on Amazon, but that’s what it says on the shoe. They’re super grippy and hold well to my feet. I’ve worn other five finger shoes for running, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling (under flippers), rock climbing, yoga, weight training, and military PT. These shoes I believe will be suitable for all of the above. One caveat— they run small. I wear a solid size 8 and have always worn 38-39 depending on the model of five finger shoe. This one required a size 40. The 39 was insanely small. Otherwise, great shoes.

This is my first pair of FF. I was worried about the sizing as EVERYONE has commented on it! I took advantage of the free returns and ordered three pairs. From those I was able to select a pair that fit -but it wasn’t the size I would have gone for or the size suggested on the Vibram site! I wear a uk8/euro43 in saucony running trainers and I’m a size 7-7.5 in everyday footwear. The FF that fit are Euro 41/uk8-8.5-or so it says on the box. The Vibram size is 25 cm which is the same measurement from the heel to my longest toe on my biggest foot. This is how Vibram recommends working out your size but the conversion on the Vibram website says that a 25cm shoe is a Uk6/Eu40! On top of this on the boxes I ordered,

Long review: I ordered the 38 size I wear 7.5 us regular shoes and 8 us for running as I needed more toe space. The 38 fit great. I waited to do several runs with these shoes before writing my review. I have painful arthritis in my feet and with all of my super supportive running shoes it was getting worse. So I figured if supportive shoes are not helping I would try barefoot running. I can be a bit extreme as you have probably figured out already. But the thought of not being able to run is just not acceptable. My first few runs I took it super easy. I was worried about creating new injuries and did 2-3 runs at a slower pace with walk/run intervals. Once I realized my feet were not sore I started to run as normal.

Love them love them love them.I should have bought the size I normally am (39) but I read reviews that said they came up small so I bought 40's. They are fine for me but my actual size would have fitted better. When I bought my mainstream running shoes (that hurt my knee) I was told your feet swell when you run anyway so you need a bigger size.I feel a bit self conscious in them but not much more than I normally do wobbling around the gym next to the skinny fit people. No one noticed them anyway. They are tricky to get on the first couple of times but you get used to it.I've not run any distance in them yet as I am getting used to them. I'm only doing 30 seconds HIIT on the treadmill.

I had been contemplating purchasing these for a while.Finally bought them and they are perfect, exactly what I wanted.I have only worn them 3 times and have noticed a difference in the way I walk. You feel somewhat free. Unlike mediocre trainers that harness your feet.I like trainers that don't look like trainers, and these are them. Be prepared to stand out from the crowd.Be aware these trainers will emanate attention. The first time I wore these at the gym, I was constantly stopped and asked regarding them. I Also noticed individual just staring at my feet.I am a uk size 5 however after reading several reviews I decided to purchase a 1/2 bigger (5.5 uk size).I believe if I purchased the UK 5 size they would of fitted like a glove,

Love these.I've always used Brooks Adrenaline until I had an injury that kept me out for a long time.Getting 'back to it' has taken an age and I started experiencing problems that I'd never had before in the guise of tight calves and numbness across the sole of my foot.I've been running barefoot on and off for a little while before these new issues so have a reasonable experience but wasn't really sure what to expect.Since buying a treadmill, I've been able to run completely barefoot and found all my injuries have, so far, faded away. The problem was always going to be moving outside so, I thought I'd give these a go.Yeah, they're not as good as completely barefoot but,

I cannot express how much I love running in these. I typically like to run barefoot on the beach but I am now training for a mud run and must wear shoes for the event so I ordered these. I got them this afternoon and immediately took them out for a run. Regular running shoes constrict my feet and do not allow them to move and flex over the terrain naturally resulting in my feet aching from about 50 steps in! I also ran a half marathon in my last pair of Vibrams, 4 years ago. Road running is very hard on my hips and knees so after that I discovered running in the sand suits me well and I get to ditch the shoes altogether that way.. I am very grateful for Vibram bridging the gap between barefoot running and shoes.

I got so lucky with the fit of these shoes! After reading reviews I ordered a size larger & it proved to be the best way to get a correct fit. Not all toes are created equal, 2nd toe longer than big toe, and no problem with the fit. I HAD TO BUY THESES SHOES after having had a bone spur removed from top big toe joint, once swelling subsided. My pod-doc offered NO physical therapy & only suggested we fuse the joint in the future! No way was that going to happen, instead I wear these shoes everywhere so I can continuously flex the toes that had become stiff from traditional footwear. I will buy another pair when these wear out -- anything to avoid surgery. Also buy socks to wear with them,

I bought these as I care about my feet and looking after my toes; I like the idea of wearing footwear that allows my feet to work as naturally as possible, rather than contorting them into a pair of shoes with pointed toes or high heels. :) These definitely fit the bill. I've fairly rapidly accelerated through the 'getting used to them' period; wore them in the house for an evening or two; went for a walk outdoors in them, then around town; set out on a country walk and ended up jogging in them! Felt great even on compacted soil, although walking over sections of gravel on tarmacked roads reminded me of the sensitivity of my feet! Not too cool if you come into contact with puddles(!)
